Vista 100% CPU Load problem

[ust]

hi guys... i've been using vista for a while now but never encounter this problem until the recent SP1

i used a modified Vista SP1 using vlite, i removed the non-core items such as printer, etc

the problem with it is that, my CPU load is 100% whenever i use FlashGet, which means i can't do anything else

also, it caused my download speed to be significantly lower than usual (usual = 3-4MBps, now = 1MBps)

and my windows explorer crashed all the time

i've tried to re-install with other version of modified vista, but the problem seems to remain

anyone has the similar problem, or might now what's happening with my machine? thanks.

Well, not without some data on the CPU time. Perhaps you could look at the process with Process Explorer and see what is using the CPU time in that process?

[ust]

well i did check, most of the time it's flashget who's jamming the system...

Does it happen on a non-modified Vista install? If it does not, you probably want to ask this in the vlite forums.

[ust]

not sure, but i plan to do a re-installation in the next few days

will post what's the latest development on this issue

thanks anyway

OK, i tried re-installation using different combination

- vLited SP1

- vLited non-SP1

- normal SP1

- normal non-SP1

the conclusion is that, the excessive CPU load only happened when i have SP1 installed! and the program that caused this is definitely FlashGet!

I don't know how to analyze what went wrong. Any suggestions?

Regards,

SW

Well, you could take a set of adplus hang dumps of the flashget process while the CPU load is occurring, perhaps one every 30 - 45 seconds (take at least 3) and we can look at the stacks consuming CPU and maybe, maybe learn more.

thanks mate... too bad now i'm running the non-sp1 trouble free version

will see if i have time to do the dump this weekend...
